The sun is on the riverThere's a disco on the pierThrough a champagne glowing goldL can see your house from here

Oh let the night come to meet meL might as well be dreamingDo you hear the whirlwind singRoses so sweetWe all need some company

They walk among youThe stars of New YorkTake like a train like some peopleRide a taxi on the avenueAnd when the pushes come to shoveThey probably fall in love like you do

Get down

And though we tighten our beltsBurn through our payAnd learn to live and go withoutThere is a crowd around the hotelFlash bulbs and lightsAnd I wonder what it's all about

It's like a hole in a cloudA pearl in the swirly black waterA pale lonesome songThat trails on and on and on

They walk among youThe stars of New YorkTake like a train like some peopleRide a taxi on the avenueAnd when the pushes come to shoveThey probably fall in love like you do

And if tomorrow's not a bigger lifeThen we've only got ourselves to blameIs every curse a blessing in disguiseOr a bump in the roadOn the ride of your lifeThe weakest get to pull the cartThe fittest survive

Let the night come to meet meI might as well be dreamingDo you hear the whirlwind singRises so sweetWe all need some company

They walk among youThe stars of New YorkTake like a train like some peopleRide a taxi on the avenueAnd when the pushes come to shoveThey probably fall in love like you do
